100 Bible verses that made America : Defining moments that shaped our enduring foundation of faith
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

The Bible has played a starring role in American history from our natiońs beginnings. When George Washington was sworn into office as our first president, he did not place his hand on the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, as hallowed as those documents are. Instead, he swore upon and even kissed the Bible to sanctify this important moment. The Bible, Washington knew, had ushered American history to this point.Trying to explain American history without its Bible is like trying to understand the human body without its bloodstream. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America. While not every Founding Father was a Christian, a Bible-believer, or a paragon of virtue and not every leader has honored the Bible nor appreciated its influence, there is an undeniable history of leaders whóve been intimately acquainted with the contents of the Bible, whóve studied its scriptures and respected its teachings. Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he teaches about the Biblés role in the defining moments and impact on the people of our natiońs history, reminding us of the beauty at the intersection of faith and country and reigniting our heartś passions for both.
